ALBUM OF MEMORIES, AN(ISBN=9780375760419) 英文原版 fb2 pdf azw3 网盘 rtf 免费 下载 txt

“I cannot go anywhere in America without people wanting to share

their wartime experiences....The stories and the lessons have

emerged from long-forgotten letters home, from reunions of old

buddies and outfits, from unpublished diaries and home-published

memoirs....As the stories in this album of memories remind us, it

truly was an American experience, from the centers of power to the

most humble corners of the land.”

—Tom Brokaw

In this beautiful American family album of stories from the

Greatest Generation, the history of life as it was lived during the

Depression and World War II comes alive and is preserved in

people’s own words. Photographs and time lines also commemorate

important dates and events. An Army Air Corps veteran who enlisted

in 1941 at age seventeen writes to describe the Bataan Death March.

A black nurse tells of her encounter with wartime segregation.

Other members of the Greatest Generation describe their war—in such

historic episodes as Guadalcanal, the D-Day invasion, the Battle of

the Bulge, and Midway—as well as their lives on the home front.

Starting with the Depression and Pearl Harbor, moving on through

the war years in Europe, in the Pacific, and at home, this unique

book preserves a people’s rich historical heritage and the legacy

of a nation’s heroism in war and its courage in peace—in the

shaping of their lives and of the world we have today.
